Hi all, this is my first post here.
I have installed the demo version for testing on a specific application I have, so I can later use a routerboard for this.
This is my very first touch with RouterOS and I feel I must say I am very impressed with the product. If all goes well, I think I will use it for dial-on-demand in a village where there is no DSL yet and later will try a scenario with 2-3 bonded ISDN dialups for communication with another point for a small videoconference application.
The problem is I have a very strange behavior when dialing with an ISDN modem to some Internet providers. PPP interface status goes to state “Authenticated” after a while, but the OS does not get any IP address. I managed to get to a point where I got a “Connected” status (and also got an IP address) when connecting with only one of the providers yesterday, although I didn’t get anything to work - not even a ping to the router on the other side.
I’m very new to RouterOS, so I may be doing something wrong, but I guess connecting to an Internet provider via dialup should be very straightforward, so I’m very puzzled with this.
Any suggestions will be appreciated.
